Potting Up Your Avocado Seedling: Two Stems Are Better Than One

Time to Pot

Move to a 4-inch pot with damp potting mix. No need to cut either stem—they don't compete.

Encourage Branching

Pinch off the tip of each stem when it has 3–4 leaves. This forces side branches for a bushier plant.

Light

Sunniest windowsill you have. Avocados need strong light to stay compact.
